Bus shelters: designer spaces for waiting for public transport.

The cost of a bus stop shelter varies based on several technical and aesthetic variables, starting from basic and standardized solutions up to designer or high-tech structures. The main factors that determine the final price are:

• Dimensions and modules: Length of the roof and number of side-by-side modules.
• Materials and finishes: Galvanized and painted steel structures, compact polycarbonate or safety glass coverings.
• Integrated technology: Presence of smart systems (e.g., photovoltaic panels for stand-alone systems, LED lighting, USB ports).
• Accessories included: Integration of benches, timetable notice boards, windbreak side walls, or advertising displays.
• Order volume: Dedicated discounts for multiple supplies intended for entire urban routes or tender specifications.

Yes, production flexibility is one of our main strengths. Each project has unique needs, and our shelters can be configured to measure to integrate perfectly into the urban or corporate context.

It is possible to customize:

• Dimensions and Modules: Extensible cantilevered or self-supporting structures, adaptable to available space and user flows.
• Colors and Finishes: Wide range of RAL colors for steel painting, with high-resistance treatments against atmospheric agents and corrosion.
• Covering Materials: Choice between polycarbonate (compact or multiwall), safety glass, or sheet metal.
• Accessories and Comfort: Integration of windbreak side walls, benches or ischiatic (leaning) seats, timetable notice boards, and advertising displays (totems).
• Smart Technology: Integration of stand-alone photovoltaic kits for autonomous LED lighting and USB charging points.

The Dimcar technical team is available to designers and public offices to develop custom variations and special configurations.

In school waiting areas, minor safety and maximum visibility are absolute priorities. For school bus stops, Dimcar recommends structures that meet specific requirements:

• Maximum visibility and transparency: Models equipped with large walls made of safety glass or transparent compact polycarbonate. This allows bus drivers and parents to always have full visibility of children inside and outside the structure.
• Resistance and anti-vandalism materials: Galvanized and powder-coated steel structures, coupled with shatterproof materials, to withstand daily stress and ensure minimal maintenance over time.
• Capacity and protection: Modular and spacious models, capable of safely accommodating large groups of students during peak hours, effectively protecting them from rain, wind, and sun.
• Integrated accessories: Configurations complete with ergonomic seats or benches and protected information boards for displaying school bus schedules.

All our solutions for school contexts are designed in compliance with EN 1090-1 structural safety standards and meet CAM requirements for public procurement.

Dimcar shelters are supplied in a practical assembly kit complete with all the hardware and instructions necessary for quick, safe, and professional assembly.

Regarding ground fixing, the method varies depending on the model and the installation site:

• Mechanical fixing to the ground on a reinforced concrete foundation, with foundation plates (below the flooring sub-base) equipped with anchor bolts embedded within the foundation itself.
• Mechanical fixing to the ground on a reinforced concrete foundation, with foundation plates (below the road surface) equipped with anchor bolts embedded within the foundation itself.
• Mechanical fixing to the ground on a reinforced concrete foundation, with foundation plates (flush with the flooring) equipped with anchor bolts embedded within the foundation itself.
• Fixing on reinforced concrete plinths with foundation plates (visible above the flooring) equipped with threaded bars inserted into the plinths using chemical anchors.

Upon request, our technical office provides detailed drawings of the foundations and structural calculation reports, allowing the appointed construction company or the municipal technical office to prepare the installation area flawlessly and in total compliance with Technical Standards for Construction (NTC).

All Dimcar shelters are designed to guarantee maximum longevity with reduced maintenance interventions to a minimum, even in severe climatic contexts (marine areas with high salinity, mountain areas with heavy snow loads, or urban centers with high pollution rates).

• Metallic structures: The steel used undergoes hot-dip galvanization treatments and thermosetting polyester powder coating. This process creates a total barrier against rust and corrosion, eliminating the need for periodic painting.
• Coverings and walls: The polycarbonate and safety glass used are UV-treated to prevent yellowing and loss of transparency over time, requiring simple periodic cleaning with water and neutral detergents.
• Smart Components (Photovoltaic Models): The solar panels and integrated batteries in stand-alone models are designed for industrial outdoor use. They only require an annual visual check to verify that the panel surface is free of leaves or dirt accumulations that could reduce energy efficiency.

The high quality of Dimcar structural materials ensures that the product maintains both its mechanical safety properties (EN 1090-1 certified) and its aesthetic appearance unaltered over time.

Yes, all Dimcar shelters can be customized in color to integrate perfectly into the architectural context of installation, whether it is a historical center subject to Superintendency constraints or a modern urban area.

• Standard Catalog Colors: We have a selection of classic colors for street furniture (such as Gunmetal Gray, May Green, or Brown) always available and optimized for a perfect aesthetic result.
• RAL Color Range: Upon request, steel structures can be painted in any color of the international RAL scale, allowing shelters to match the institutional colors of the Municipality, transport company, or corporate brand.

Painting is performed with thermosetting polyester powders with oven baking: an industrial process that guarantees maximum color brightness, high resistance to UV rays (preventing fading over time), and total protection from atmospheric agents. Here is the complete list of colors always in stock.

The harmonized standard UNI EN 1090-1 regulates the execution of steel and aluminum structures. Since a bus shelter is considered a construction work (structural product) in all respects, since 2011 the law prohibits the installation of products lacking this certification and the relative CE Marking.

Choosing Dimcar EN 1090 certified shelters guarantees designers, RUPs, and construction managers:

• Public safety: The certainty that the structure has been calculated and manufactured to withstand the local loads (wind action, snow thrust, and earthquake) provided for by the Technical Standards for Construction (NTC).
• Total traceability: Every batch of steel used by Dimcar is certified and traced at the source, and every welding process is performed by qualified personnel and subjected to strict internal quality controls.
• Testing regularity: The delivery of all documentation required by law, including the Declaration of Performance (DoP), an indispensable document for passing the testing phase of the work without the risk of sanctions or legal disputes.
